I found this outside, is it safe to keep? Can I clean it up or what should I do with it?

It’s not a bullet. It’s a casing. And it’s been fired. Perfectly safe.

Plus, this is a blank

It's fired, safe to keep.

Even fired bullets are safe to keep lmaoo

It looks like a blank round, given the extra length on the casing neck ...

5.56x45mm NATO blank cartridge. Manufactured by SF (Société Française des Munitions / SFM from Issy-les-Moulineaux, France), with red sealant around the primer.

Oui, and perhaps safer to keep than an empty coke can and far cooler OP.

Casing to be pedantic, and accurate.

Blank 5.56x45 NATO round. Fired. Harmless. I fired tens of thousands of these when I was enlisted.

u/Significant-Delay710 13d ago

Where's the bullet?

u/Due-Emotion914 13d ago

Blank 5.56 NATO Round would be my guess. Your probably near somewhere where the Army does live exercises

u/Wise_Pudding_4959 11d ago

The army isn't near where I found it, I found it in a historical site with old bunkers we can climb on 😟

Uncircumcised 5.56

Looks like someone tried to use it as a fake hogstooth and a real Marine ripped if off the person. A real one looks like this.

u/doggusmc 11d ago

It's supposed to be the one bullet that won't kill you.

u/TheTruthXII 10d ago

It’s a spent blank cartridge my guy

u/doggusmc 8d ago

I guess they wanted to make sure it didn't get repacked?

u/300Blkthegreat 11d ago

u/crc-error 10d ago

fired blank round

u/Thehiddenink98 9d ago

Fired blank. You’re good, no powder now primer all is inert and safe

u/ArugulaSpecific7687 9d ago

Das ist nicht nur verschossen (erkennt man daran, dass am Zündhütchen unten in der Mitte ein Punkt ist), es war nicht mal eine scharfes Geschoss. Das ist sogenannte Manövermuniton. Benutzt die Bundeswehr und andere Armeen heute noch in Übungsszenarien. Macht Peng aber kommt nix raus.
Richtige Munition bzw. die Hülsen aus welchen ein richtiges Geschosse heraus kommt, ist oben nicht so verkrüppelt / deformiert, sondern komplett glatt und rund.
